SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 655,068, dated July 31, 1900; Application led August 11,1899.V Serial No. 7265954. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom t1/nay concern.-

Be it known that I, ROBERT BARNES EL- LIOTT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hamletsburg, in the county of Pope and 5 State of Illinois, have inventeda certain new and useful Improvement in Fenders for Cul.- tivators; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in lo the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same;

My invention relates to improvements in (nod-fenders, and more particularly to that class adapted to be used in connection with I5 cultivators.

The object of this invention is to provide a fender which can be easily and quickly applied, one that is simple in its construction, and will efficiently perform all of its intended z'b functions.

vW'ith this object in view and such others as may hereinafter appear my invention consists in the particular construction of the various parts and in the novel manner of com- 5 bination and arrangement of said parts, all

of which will be fully described, and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

l In the drawings forming a part of this speciiication, Figure l is a perspective view show- 3o ing the fender as applied. Fig. 2 is a side elevation.

Referring by letters to the drawings, A represents the body ofthe fender, which consists of a metal plate having the forward end curved, as shown at B, so as to pass overany 35 obstruction which the fender may come in contact with, and its lower edge curved in; ward, as shown at C, in order to prevent the clogs from forcing the' fender up, thereby per# mitting them to slip thereunder. The plate is slotted, so as-to form bars D, which are adapted to pulverize the ground turned over by the cultivation and to prevent the clogs from being thrown against the plants.

While I have shown in the the accompanying 45 drawings the fender attached to a cultivator by rods, I do not confine myself to the exact construction, as it is obvious that the fender may be attached in various ways without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of 5o R. E. ELLIOTT;
